Who needs used egg cartons?
Backyard chicken keepers who share eggs with neighbors and friends, small farms, and people who buy eggs at a farm stand or farmers market, where vendors often welcome clean cartons back. Clean, dry egg cartons can be used a few more times. If you sell eggs, check your state's rules on reused cartons.
What do I do with egg cartons nobody wants?
Molded pulp cartons can often go in curbside paper recycling or a compost bin, and they make handy seed-starting trays in the garden. Check your city's rules for plastic and foam cartons, since not every program accepts them. Don't give away dirty or wet cartons, because they can't be reused for eggs.
